| Additional information |
The VOC struck fractional copper coinage not as a convenience for Dutch settlers but to service trade with local populations across the Indonesian archipelago, where small-denomination exchange was essential and silver was routinely hoarded rather than spent. These pieces circulated hard in the spice port economies of Batavia and beyond, which is precisely why survivors in any decent state are scarce.
